It's like, the future, yo.

Eh, I'll let this front-end fad pass and maybe grab on to the next one.

Client-Side JS focus (though the tools you use to build will likely be different).

Framework agnostic, even works with vanilla JavaScript.

No server side rendering, in fact no server side at all!

Authentication is handled outside the app, like an API.

APIs

All server-side processes or persistence are abstracted into APIs.

All APIs are accessed over HTTPS from the JS.

Treat your own server-side components as 3p.

Markup

Templated markup should be prebuilt at deploy time.

Usually using a site generator or build tool.

Why is this a thing?

Because static sites have gotten more powerful

Progressive Web Apps (PWA)

Better front end tools/frameworks like Babel, React, or Vue.

More and more SAAS and Cloud components commoditizing services, such as Let’s Encrypt for SSL/TLS certificates, Stripe for payments, the various OAuth services offered by companies like Google or Facebook, and webhooks.
